Moth gnath: Also known as moth midge, butterfly fly, is a common flying insect in toilets, toilets and toilets.
The moth midge family is a suborder longhorn insect that is as small as small, hairy or scaly, including important hygienic pests such as blood-sucking whiteflies and moth midges commonly found indoors.
The egg stage is 2 days; the larvae are four instars and begin pupating at about 14 days; pupae are feathered at about 3-4 days. The average number of eggs held by female adults is 241± 16.6 eggs, and eggs will begin to be laid about 3 or 4 days after feathering. Adults begin to die 3 or 4 days after feathering, and most adults die within 14 days; but there are also records of surviving for more than a month!
Living environment
In addition to being common in the home, adult moth midges are very common in humid environments in the wild, and some live in termite nests, rat holes, animal dens and so on. In addition to sewage, aquatic beings are also under still water or waterfalls. When the adult moth midge is stationary, the wings are mostly roof ridge-like obliquely covered or obliquely upwards backwards, and the wings are hairy or scaly and resemble small moths, so there are moths, moths, moths, and other names. The mouthparts are short and do not suck blood. Species in this subfamily are numerous and common, with adults often found in dwellings and larvae multiply in sewers.
The breeding environment of moths
The larvae of the white-spotted moth and the star-spotted moth are mainly spawned in shallow waters containing putrefactive organic matter, septic tanks, sewage tanks, toilets, bathroom washstands, floor water, kitchen sinks, damp rags... And so on can cultivate a large number of moths. Traces of moth larvae can also be found in silt gutters, septic tanks and some water containers with higher organic matter outdoors. Most of the feathered adult moths stop near the wall.
Moth pest
Mechanical vectors: white spotted moth flies and star spotted moths often appear on kitchen and bathroom walls, and the whole body is covered with fine hairs, easy to carry germs, and there is a possibility of contaminating food and spreading diseases. The activity of moths is not high, the chance of mechanically transmitted diseases is not large, and the ecological habits of white-spotted moths and star-spotted moths have the possibility of spreading E. coli disease.
Harassing pests: Moths that inhabit white paint or tile walls can affect visual clarity and indoor cleanliness. Moths are not very capable of flying, often stopping on walls and flying away only when disturbed. Fly a short distance and stop again on a nearby wall.
Fly maggot disease: The "pest" nature of moths, the most important of which is to cause myiasis, is generally caused by star-spotted moths. In general, moth larvae are free living insects that do not need to parasitize in the host to complete their life history. Larvae or eggs that accidentally enter the host can also use the host's tissue to complete the life history. It is generally believed that the production of moth-worm fly maggot disease is a facultative parasitism caused by unexpected factors such as wound care and poor disinfection.
Workaround
1, often keep all the floor leaks in the toilet, the water is dry, then quickly pour water into the floor drain. This stink is not only sealed by water, but also the gutter worms do not want to fly out, which is the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective way. In addition, don't forget that the washbasin is connected to the sewer pipe, and when you don't use the washbasin, you should also cover the sewage outlet.
2, if you want to keep the floor drain without gutter worms for a long time, you can go to the health and epidemic prevention station to buy some low-toxic insecticides, dilute with water, open the floor drain, spray for a while, and then cover. Frequent spraying of a little insecticide can lead to the absence of gutter worms for a long time.
